[QUOTE="Retired, post: 447243, member: 29075"] Hi, Many thanks John; thanks for the nod I'll have a look. Thanks for asking Murdoch; I bought the Wago items after reading about the dangers of junction boxes in confined spaces such as under floor boards where they aren't accessible for testing and screws coming loose resulting in fire risk; as I've stated Wago is new to me and for a few quid I'm happy to try them out; it was members on this forum who brought my attention to Wago so I'm still learning; the Wago videos look good but I wonder what these are like in the real world? Are junction boxes under floor boards now outlawed under 17th Edition wiring regulations; I've already found a couple of junction boxes and its no problem to change them whilst I have access; sorry if I seem thick but I've been doing lots of web browsing and reading; as they say a little learning is a dangerous thing. There's nothing to stop me getting a sparky in to test once the job is completed; I installed our current CU over 25 years ago doing the job live (NOT RECOMMENDED) without difficulty and it's never had any problems; it tests good with my new Kewtech loopcheck107 socket tester. I admit I'm not a sparky but I'm not a novice either. Kind regards, Colin. [/QUOTE]
